Dear God,
Here I am again, my 17th year of making public my thanks and gratitude to you for yet another year of your faithful kindness and goodness to me.
Lord, you and I have walked together for nearly 40 years, and even when I’ve strayed from the path, you’ve never left my side or dropped hold of my hand, even for a moment.
You have walked with me through “hell and high water,” through the fire and over the rocky roads. Often I’ve been afraid, although always needlessly.

Owenton First Baptist
A spirit of joy was felt by all as we gathered to worship the Lord this past Sunday.
Our pastor brought the message from John 7 entitled “An Incomparable Invitation.”
Sunday evening we participated in the Community Thanksgiving Service.
Our young ladies concluded the drive for Operation Christmas Child with a special prayer of blessing for all the children who would be receiving the special gifts.

This has been a very good week on the Branch. The weather was mild to downright hot.
I had my Hand and Foot ladies on Friday. It was my turn to host the card group. We had the doors open, and it was 78 degrees. We are a bit dry. We only had about two-tenths of an inch of rain, but the Branch never looked better. We had a good afternoon, and they got started home before dark.

A 26-year-old Owen County man was arrested yesterday evening after he allegedly sexually abused a 13-year-old boy, according to Kentucky State Police.
Daniel Raymond Dowdy, 26, is charged with second-degree sodomy, first-degree sexual abuse, and prohibited use of electronic communications to procure a minor or peace officer for sexual abuse. All three charges are felonies, according to Kentucky State Police Trooper Joshua Lawson.

In rural America, many of these vital people are perhaps best pictured as dressed in overalls and walking behind a plow or sitting atop a tractor.
Their eyes crinkle at the corners from years of squinting in the sun, and their strong, calloused hands speak of tireless devotion to the land.
